hi,
i can't decide on whether to get a Mango or a Vitus Vee 29. Something to leave locked up in the city as a pub bike, shop bike, pootle around bike... which is zero maintenance and ready built.
What would you take?

Assuming the top one is the Mango - that one.
More discrete and understated.

The bottom one so I could wear pants that fit me instead of girls ones...
Go fixie 'cept for those bars! Rutland are chucking out a half price Schwin bike that is a ton less, probably as good and in a colour that I can only describe as unstealable dog toffee brown
Vitus
that Rutland fixie is dogtoffee-licious. But it'll be 81e shipping.
There's also a stunning De Rosa on Rutland. I'm very tmepted!!

Having bought a Mango in the last month i would say go for that. The Vitus didn't get a glowing review if i recall?
Anyway, the Mango is a great bike for general running around, i commute on mine and it always makes me grin by the time ive got to work.
Pretty nippy it is too and i haven't any problems with the parts quality so far - plus you can customise it to your own colour scheme!
Vitus
The top one looks rubbish.
